Yes all the time. There is an emotional attachment to my years growing up with lp’s.. Already sold all my CD’s, CD transport and most of my lp’s. Only getting a few dollars each. Problem is for the few hundred dollars I would get for my turntable, phono pre and remaining 60 lp’s I have kept, I might as well just keep them. It is just way too much $ to get vinyl to sound as good as streaming. Not to mention the pops/clicks and flipping lp’s every 20 min and unable to skip past undesirable tracks. Streaming for good…
Have you asked yourself this question?
Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up: Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection. It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.
For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:
Analog system: Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension. Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.
Digital System: Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.
Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it. What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.
